IPL 2025: Match 4, DC vs LSG Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between DC vs LSG?

Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to face each other in Match 4 of the ongoing IPL 2025 on Monday, March 24, at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Both teams will be looking to start their campaign on a winning note after missing out on the playoffs last season due to the net run rate.

DC, under new skipper Axar Patel, has brought in KL Rahul as their wicketkeeper-batter. Their top order, features vice-captain Faf du Plessis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Rahul. DC also has a strong bowling line-up with the likes of Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, T Natarajan, and Kuldeep Yadav. The side, who will play their first two games at Visakhapatnam, will look to start well and add crucial points.

LSG, on the other hand, have put their trust in Rishabh Pant, acquiring him for record INR 27 crore and handing him the captaincy. Their batting lineup consists of world-class batters like Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, and David Miller. However, injuries to key pacers Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Avesh Khan could leave their bowling attack in trouble. The side has also brought in Shardul Thakur as an injury replacement for Mohsin and is expected to bowl in the middle and death overs.

DC vs LSG Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Nicholas Pooran

Lucknow Super Giants batter Nicholas Pooran was the second leading run-scorer of the side in the previous season with 499 runs to his name from 14 innings at an average of 62.37 and a strike rate of 178.21 with three fifties. Retained for INR 21 crore, the southpaw will be responsible for taking his team out of tricky situations. If Pooran has a good season he will have good chance of leading the IPL 2025 Orange Cap race.

Probable Best Bowler: Axar Patel

Delhi Capitals’ newly announced skipper Axar Patel can be the game changer for the upcoming game against LSG. Patel, who was part of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 and Champions Trophy 2025 winning teams, will be riding high on confidence. Notably, in the previous edition, the left-armer picked 11 wickets in 14 games. With Visakhapatnam pitch helping the spinners, the Delhi Capitals captain will be handy in the middle-overs.
